Last lesson Measuring the energy content of two fuels You will move to the next experiment at the appropriate signal.
Energy Content of two fuels FuelInitial mass (g) Final mass (g) Mass of fuel used (g) Initial temp of water (°C) Final temp of water (°C) Temp rise of water (°C) Energy released (J) Energy released per gram of fuel (J/g) Wax Ethanol Volume of water (cm 3 ) x 4.2 x temp rise Energy ÷ mass Then write three sentences saying what you have discovered, and suggesting two ways the experiment could be improved.
Today’s lesson Sankey diagrams Efficiency What is electricity?
Wasted Energy
Can you read carefully (in silence) pages 132 and 133 of your book?
Energy transfer (change) A lamp turns electrical energy into heat and light energy
Sankey Diagram A Sankey diagram helps to show how much light and heat energy is produced
Sankey Diagram The thickness of each arrow is drawn to scale to show the amount of energy
Sankey Diagram Notice that the total amount of energy before is equal to the total amount of energy after (conservation of energy)
Efficiency Although the total energy out is the same, not all of it is useful.
Efficiency Efficiency is defined as Efficiency (%) = useful energy outputx 100 total energy input
Example Efficiency = 75 x 100 = 15% 500
Energy efficient light bulb Efficiency = 75 x 100 = 75% 100
Energy efficient light bulb Efficiency = 75 x 100 = 75% 100 That’s much better!
